Letra de Next Door
(Verse #1)
If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the mouth is the door/
Where the pieces exit freely way beyond your control/
And theyre not yours anymore. Walk tall in bent stride/
And propaganda lies on the gentle side of genocide/
Words are used, broken, twisted and misquoted/
The gossip was probably true the first time somebody told it/
And slanders just a well-intentioned public exposition/
That should have been handled man to man as something different/
The bum decisions are done and repeated like that/
Bite my tongue in half as an example of how to fight back/
Write raps and raise a family. Build with the like-minded/
Honor hides itself in strange faces. Im always glad to find it/
Im reminded of the wonder of this world in which we live/
How we kill ourselves to have but find freedom when we give/
Climb reason and forgive in a quest for all that is/
Im standing right beside you cause this is where I live/
(Hook)
Im the voice in the distance, the image in the foreground/
Dont have much, but whats mine is yours now/
Cant put your finger on it, but youve seen me around/
Wherever youre at, Im just a couple doors down/
(Repeat)
(Verse #2)
Its like 4 in the morning and Im still here/
Wasnt til 3:45 that I started thinking clear/
Concern, anger, sadness, and now my heart is blinking tears/
Take these necessary steps to my art can reach my peers/
Ive abused my voice so much that its hard to sing this year/
And my own songs cant echo in my set of ringing ears/
Pages filled top to bottom with confidence and stinging fear/
That no one understands what I speak and they cant hear/
So Ill say it twice as loud and Ill mean every word/
Cant keep it in my mouth until their peace is disturbed/
From the least to the first, we can see where you hurt/
And we dedicate this now, every beat, every verse/
Every breath, every thought, every prayer, every stage/
Every show, every moment, every night, every day/
Everything that we say and everything that we do/
Its dedicated to you. Its dedicated to you
(Hook)
(Verse #3)
The moments that Im walking through affect the way I talk to you/
And this is what Im called to do. Its almost like Im stalking you/
Youre tired of falling through the cracks from all the broken promises/
And its tough to hear the voice of reason through these busted monitors/
And as honest as I am, I cant hide behind the façade/
I just wanna bring my people a little closer to God/
If Im martyred on MARTA, it was probably my time/
But were here now, hands on, transforming your mind/
So if I ask you how youre doing, dont smile and say, Fine./
Cause its written all over your face honey, and I aint blind/
Me and mine, we spill our guts, cause without it, wed go nuts/
The music is therapeutic, so just let it pick you up/
And hold you tight. Move a little closer to the light/
Be careful when you listen cause it might just change your life/
And when you see me in the supermarket, just smile and say, Hello./
And add me to the list of all the people that you know
(Hook)
